Geneva named ‘Playful City’ for sixth year

The city has once again been honored for its efforts to provide recreation focused on kids and families.

The national nonprofit KaBoom! has awarded Geneva a Playful City USA designation for the sixth consecutive year.

According to KaBoom, “Playful City USA honors cities and towns across the country for putting the needs of families first so kids can learn, grow and develop important life skills. These communities are transforming ordinary places into playful spaces and using play as a solution to the challenges facing their residents.”

KaBoom said Geneva is one of 258 communities “that make it as easy as possible for kids to play. In total, these communities feature more than 14,000 safe and engaging playspaces that serve more than 4 million kids.”
